Changing the rules of the game

Without really realising it, I've become stuck in a bit of a rut. A blogging rut. The normal pattern for me for this blog is for a topic to hit me, me finding time to sit down for 10 minutes or so and hash out a post, find an image in my Flickr account which has some relation to the story (and sometimes the only relation is that I shot the image and wrote the post), and press 'save'. The careful observer notices the complete lack of spelling check, yes I blatantly do not spellcheck. Take that English professors from my undergrad. The whole thing doesn't sound like much work. And it isn't. But with the advent of Twitter, and especially Tumblr, my blogging habits but most of all my attention span, are starting to change. Having to sit down and find an image with a post all of a sudden seems a bit of a burden, as does waiting for a coherent and topical set of thoughts to materialise in my head. I want instant. Now, now, now. Instant gratification. But I'm not sure if this blog lends itself to that. So what I'll do is experiment a bit for a while here. Not all posts will be long as per usual, or have an image attached. Apologies for any upcoming randomness and conciseness.
